I watched a video on YouTube the other day that showed a torpedo attack on a German merchant convoy by British Beuforts. This was the real deal, and when they made their runs they didn't release until very close to the targets ships. In IL2 it's far easier then in real life since the ships don't take evasive action when you attack. You need to be a few hundred feet from your target when you drop, but at that distance you should be able to eye ball it. Now......this is very, very, very dangerous for the pilots flying the attack. In the video you could see the German AA gunners scoring good hit on the bombers, claiming to have shot down 5 of 10.
